Hope they do better than the sequel, which was a real snoozer.
I wonder how they will deal with the fact that Bauer supposedly went to law school at Berkeley. (Although he got a non-existent Master of Criminology degree, not a law degree.) I always thought that was was ironic with Bauer, since he would even torture his own family members (and did). I always wondered if it was a sly hit on Professor John Yoo there, who wrote the Justice Department memo upholding enhanced interrogation.
Will “he” be a Black or Asian woman? Perhaps a Muslim man?
They don’t seem to be even vaguely aware that it’s Kiefer Sutherland who made the show - not just their “concept.” Without him, it’s not worth watching.
Plus, it really sucks they were dragging him off to some prison at the end - after all that, you at least want Jack to sit back the rest of his years and teach his grandchildren how to torture terrorists or something...
By the way, I DID enjoy the new season of “Prison Break” they did a couple of years ago. Totally captured the flavor of the original AND gave it the closure that the “movie” didn’t.
Just like “Young Sheldon”, they could milk the original show for sub-plot ideas, but “Young Jack Bauer” would eventually have to stand on it’s own. Maybe they could cast Roseanne Barr as a mentor to add some spice, and a fallback in case the series fails.
Could the sequel have been any worse?! I suffered through three episodes, couldn't take anymore.
The problem with the original 24 series was the last two years became so damn' politically correct it was unwatchable (to me anyway.)
It was so bad that when "Designated Survivor" came on ABC I watched one episode and thought to myself "that's what Jack Bauer became!" and turned it off.

Jack Bauer is revealed to have originally been born as Jacqueline Bauer later undergoing gender reassignment surgery.
His wife Terri will be alive.
Make him Transgender/Transracial/Transhuman.
It’s a surefire winner!
“He was born to a family of poor black sharecroppers...”
Can we get Bill Buchanan back? James Morrison is the actior, I think.
He was born at a very young age....
...and Chloe. She was the only friend he had and in my opinion, made the series complete.
Freckles would have seen through that in a flash.
I got further into Designated Survivor than you and it got even worse, if you can believe that. They couldn’t resist injecting more politics into the show and when I quit they were headed in a West Wing direction.
Chloe was a keeper.
Is Bauer black or a trans?
... and Edgar!
